According to a statement signed by the Ministry’s Spokesperson, Mr Kimiebi Ebienfa, the Minister stated that this milestone provides an opportunity to reflect on Sudan’s enduring journey as a sovereign nation, its rich cultural heritage, and the collective aspirations of its people for peace, unity, and prosperity.
Reaffirming Nigeria’s acknowledgement of Sudan’s notable contributions to Africa’s political, intellectual, and cultural development, as well as the resilience of the Sudanese people in confronting complex political, economic, and humanitarian challenges, Ambassador Tugar said Nigeria and Sudan share a long-standing relationship rooted in mutual respect, Pan-African solidarity, and a common commitment to Africa’s advancement.
